THE REMINGTON-BURNELLI "AIRLINER" TWIN-ENGINE
COMMERCIAL BIPLANE
SOME brief particulars, which we reproduce herewith, of a
very interesting machine are given in our American contem-
poraries Aviation and Aerial Age. As will be seen from
the accompanying illustrations, this machine, which has
been built by the Airliner Engineering Corp., of Amityville,
wide in front and is built in the shape of an aerofoil; it thus
contributes to the lift of the machine. The power plant is
composed of two Liberty XII 400 h.p. engines driving tractor
propellers. Owing to the width of the fuselage it was possible
to house both engines in the nose instead of mounting them in

Long Island, to the designs of Vincent J. Burnelli, is a large
commercial biplane of distinctive appearance, embodying a
great number of original ideas. Chief among these is the
great width of the fuselage', which may be visualised from the
view showing one-half of the cabin. The fuselage is 14 ft.
separate wing nacelles. A great deal of parasite resistance
was thus done away with and the arranjgement has the further
advantage that it enables the mechanic to adjust the engines
in flight.
